Kone feeling fit to start season

Everton forward Arouna Kone told the club website that he is raring to go as he enters the season fully fit after missing much of last year: “I feel a lot better physically now. The few games that I was able to play last season allowed me to regain a lot of my confidence which is very important. Now it’s all about this summer and this pre-season and making sure I set out as I mean to go on. The fans haven’t been able to see me at my very best level, but I hope I can get there next season and show them what I am about. I am hungry to do that and I want to prove I can cut it here.
